Carry piece of sound equipment suggestive of ritual? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

totemic

'suggestive of ritual?' is the definition.
(as in totem poles)

'carry piece of sound equipment' is the wordplay.
'carry' becomes 'tote' (toting is a kind of carrying).
'piece of sound equipment' becomes 'mic' (microphone).
'tote'+'mic'='TOTEMIC'

(Other definitions for totemic that I've seen before include "worship?" , "like a sign" , "Like something significant" , "Relating to an important symbol" , "(Of an object) having spiritual significance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
